MSC cries: Save the horsel THE METAL HORSE: There he stands in a frozen trot. Guarding the way to the parking lot. The MSC has endorsed a campaign to buy sculptor John Kearney's 1500 Horsepower. Judy In nis. chairman of the Ad visory Board, made this announcement at a tea room Save the Horse rally last Wed.. Feb. 14. Horsepower, a 400 lb. equine of welded steel bumpers, is currently dis played in the west parking lot. At the rally. Mrs. Myrtle Postmantur, English de partment, asserted that 'the horse describes what Mundelein is trying to do in Chicago. The Horse says man can still find truth and beauty in the city. The rally's enthusiastic tone changed to one of pes simism, as Jean Stead- man argued there are better ways to spend 1500. We need a new ele vator in Northland. Vicki Granacki claimed the Kearney sculpture is just created from the clever things left over in society. Gerry Kurtz, chairman of The Society for the Ap preciation of Equines, cited a horse-naming con test, a student-faculty vol leyball game and a class Kentucky Derby as possi ble ways to raise the 1500. We are only using the All-College Revue profits as a last resort in acquir ing the horse, Gerry em phasized. The Terrapins have of fered to donate the pro ceeds from their April wa ter ballet show to the Save the Horse cam paign. Kappa Mu Psi has also offered to help. However, some students do not share this enthu siasm. Six students have organized a petition de manding that the MSC set up an investigative committee to poll student opinion on the purchase of the Horse. These students are Vicki Granacki, Gail Halfar, Bette Kuzniar, Pat O'Re- gan, Kathy Schneider and Rosemary (Soaky) Soko lik. College establishes degree in theology The establishment of a major in theology, effective immediately, was approved at a dinner meeting of the Committee on Specialization of the Academic Board, Feb. 9. Hassenger studies Catholic education; calls for functional, coed institutions With an openly ques tioning air, former Mun delein professor Robert Hassenger discussed the future of Catholic higher education with a handful of students and faculty Feb. 13. From all appearances. Catholic education is Has- senger's special line. He is currently a member of the Notre Dame Univer sity department of Sociol ogy and education and has recently authored, The Shape of Catholic Higher Education, which in cludes a chapter on Mun delein. But more import ant, Hassenger looks at the success of Catholic ed ucation not in terms of the number of fellowship hold ers it produces, but rather in terms of its ability to relate to the needs of students. WITHOUT a doubt, Has senger believes, colleges have the power to influ ence student values; the question is how to use that power. The failure of Catholic education, he says, is that it has concen trated too much on the in tellect, rather than on the value-added approach. A college should force stu dents to grow by offering them diverse new situa tions which demand new responses. Perhaps what might really differentiate a Catholic university from another is the type of question it asks, rather than specifically what it teaches. IN THE FUTURE, Has senger feels, the need for diversification will make the one-sex college obso lete. St. Joseph's College in Rensselaer will be come fully co-ed next year and there is a chance of Barat joining St. Mary's and Notre Dame in South Bend. Likewise, the 31- year old professor predicts that colleges of the future will be more functional and students, in turn wiil be more mobile. Sister Carol Frances Jegen, theology depart ment chairman, repre sented the position of the department at the meet ing. Miss Joan Lark. Sis ter June O'Connor, Sister Mary Donahey and Sister Michaela Farren, theology department faculty, were also present at the meet ing. The availability of a trained faculty, increased graduate study opportuni ties in theolorv and the importance of r e 1 i g i o u s studies in a liberal arts college attest to the need of a theology major, ac cording to the department faculty in a letter submit ted to the Committee on Special;zation last month. The ten-course major in cludes Scripture and Sac rament, Development of Christian Thought, Theo logical Questions, Special Teach Maladjusted College initiates traineeships New Math Head The math department will have a new acting chairman next fall. Stuart Goldman, currently math instructor at the Illinois Institute of Technology, will replace Sister Cecelia Moran, who will take a year's sabbatical. A Chicagoan, Goldman will receive a Ph.D. this June. He holds an M.S. de gree from Purdue Univer sity, an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago. A program for the preparation and training of teachers of emotionally dis turbed and socially maladjusted chil dren w,ll be offered in the 1968 fall term. According to Sister Margaret Irene Healy, chairman of the department of education, Mundelein has developed a program in special education to pre pare teach 2rs for the emotionally dis turbed and socially maladjusted. If re cent Illinois State legislation had been implemented this last fall, according to one estimate, approximatejy 5,000 new teachers in special education would have been needed in Illinois alone. The State of Illinois awarded Munde lein 30,000 in order to provide the fa cilities, staff, and training necessary to qualify women to instruct and help chil dren who are usually regarded as be- havorlal disorders. The department of education will supervise the program. The State of Illinois also will award a traineeship. for a full year of study. to 10 qualified juniors and seniors. A trainee will receive a full tuition reim bursement and a stipend of 500 in cash. Traineeship applicants must meet the requirements of Mundelein's depart ment of education, be a psychology ma jor or specialist, and a junior or senior. Qualified students should apply to Herbert Sachs, co-ordinator of Special Education, before March 15. The train ees will be notified of their acceptance by May 31. The program will include the require ments of the Teacher Education Pro gram, including practice teaching and specialization in psychology. Classroom teaching experience with the emotion ally and or socially disturbed will be offered. A course in the methods of teaching children with behavorial dis orders also will be taught. The courses will be taught here, and field work will be at the Charles F. Read Zone Center, 4200 N. Oak Park Ave., and Chicago State Hospital, 6500 W. Irving Park Rd. However, the prac- ticum of student teaching will be in the pu'olic schools. Topics in Liturgy. Great Theologians, one course each in Old Testa ment, Comparative Chris tianity or World Religions, moral theology or theo logical ethics, and a par ticular topical study of Christian thought. Furthermore, the theol ogy major may elect an additional sequence of five courses in religious educa tion. Modern Cathechetics Liturgy Seminar, Media Analysis, Religious Psy chology and an additional course chosen from Cate- chetics Colloquium, Mon- tessori in Religious Edu cation, Inter-Faith Semi nar and Research in Re ligious Education, Inter- Faith Seminar and Re search in Religious Edu cation complete the ad ditional religious educa tion sequence. Sister M. Griffin, aca demic dean, indicates that the establishment of a theology major is a ma jor addition to the pro gram at Mundelein and well may become one of the central departments of the College. We are ex tremely fortunate in hav ing faculty capable of teaching a religious studies program in a post- counciliar age. Members of the Com mittee on Specialization present at this meeting in clude: Sister M. Griffin, chairman; Mrs. Con stance Chobanian, history department; Sister Anne Leone Graham, English department; Sister Ce celia Moran, math depart ment; Mrs. Betty Matula, art department; Sister Eloise Thomas, econom ics department; Sister St. George Thompson, educa tion department. Sister Ann Ida Gannon, presi dent and Dr. Norbert Hruby, vice-president, are ex-officio members. Dr. Hruby and Miss Yohma Gray, English depart ment, were not present.
